What's next in the fight over the Mar-a-Lago FBI search affidavit
CNN
The next steps in the legal fight to bring more transparency into the FBI's search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home will largely take place in secret.
In the coming days, US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart -- who approved the warrant the FBI used to search Mar-a-Lago earlier this month -- will be considering in private the Justice Department's proposals for redacting parts of the affidavit it filed when seeking the warrant, if the affidavit is to be released at all.
In the document, the investigators who are probing the handling of classified documents from Trump's White House would have had to lay out for the judge why they thought there was probable cause for a crime and that evidence existed of that crime at the Florida resort.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
